Well, the story earlier this year was that forces within the RNC were trying to prevent Trump's nomination as well. Which may be true or not, but if true: it means Trump succeeded in the same situation wherein Bernie failed. However, I think this more points towards illusion of choice. I doubt this is the first year where big shots in the DNC and RNC showed heavy bias towards a particular candidate, if not outright choosing the presidential nominee themselves. It's naive to assume the type of behavior revealed by the DNC leak is an isolated event, or to assume it's strictly a Democrat problem. Your primary process is being controlled by forces outside of democratic (lowercase) control - certainly if you identify as Democrat, probably still if you identify as Republican. If your primary vote is irrelevant, why believe your vote in November is any different? I was very apathetic towards voting this year, but I'm leaning Trump. There's a chance, albeit slim, that he wasn't the party machinery's chosen one, a chance he wasn't hand-picked by our elusive oligarchs. You cannot say that about Clinton. Still pretty darn apathetic though. When Stephen Colbert was killed by HYDRA's Project Insight in 2014, the comedy world lost a hero. Since his life model decoy isn't up to the task, please do not mistake my performance as political discussion. I'm just doing what Steve would have wanted.

So Trump gets in power, and establishes a nepotocracy. How exactly is "the system" better off?

But, given the nature of the system and of the actors potentially involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence. We do assess that hostile actors gained access to the private commercial e-mail accounts of people with whom Secretary Clinton was in regular contact from her personal account. We also assess that Secretary Clinton’s use of a personal e-mail domain was both known by a large number of people and readily apparent. She also used her personal e-mail extensively while outside the United States, including sending and receiving work-related e-mails in the territory of sophisticated adversaries. Given that combination of factors, we assess it is possible that hostile actors gained access to Secretary Clinton’s personal e-mail account. As much as possible I try to look at the proven facts surrounding politics instead of the speculation, as damn hard as that is in our media environment. I think all of this home email server stuff distracts from all of Hillary's terrible policies and the real proven corruption that got her the democratic nomination. That' because it's impossible to find at this point. It's like saying 'well, we couldn't recreate the Big Bang in a laboratory, so it must not have happened'. We don't need to recreate it in a lab for it to be the best explanation we have, and we don't need a smoking gun to know that the Russians, Israelis, and other governments breached Clinton. Comey said that she accessed her unsecured email on her unsecured server from her phone in foreign countries. Done. Over. It was compromised.

I believe the constitution is the most perfect document in history of man, to the degree its followed. Trump already said he will nominate constructionists who are CATO/HERITAGE approved instead of people who legislate and dont understand the English language to the bench. aka progressives aka commies. I don't like Trumps anti islam stance or his bullying but his SC justices won't let him do it either. Git R Dun!

That's the only voting that really matters.	Posted by GeorgAnatoly on Jul 28, 2016, 11:34:26 PM Quote this Post
If Trump becomes president he will literally destroy America... He will make it extremely difficult for any immigrant to be called a "citizen." H1B1 look it up people... America may be considered to have a 3rd world education system but according to our leaders that's okay. We literally make it very alluring for foreigners that are extremely smart to be inticed to work for America. We have the best minds in the world working for us and all are foreigners. Yes Americans the vast majority are uneducated and spend most of their time watching reality shows. I wonder how many scholars, doctors, engineers or anyone with a doctorate degree is actually voting for trump... None because they're mostly foreigners. When is the last time you've seen an pure bred American Caucasian Doctor at a hospital? I rest my case... "Another... Solwitch thread."
